I think so... but I'd just use the following CSS code:
Code:whitespace: pre;
Thanks!

Ah... thanks for spotting that, Jeff.
Sorry, Sam, for not catching that.
<PRE> isn't in any version of XHTMLOriginally Posted by Devilware.net
Try this:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/doctype.html#s_doctype
Also just for fun, XHTML 1.1 Strict does not exist either, it is just XHTML 1.1, because there are no other versions!Text Module*

It works in IE6, the only work around in previous versions is to use the <pre> tag.
(Chuckie: It makes code preserve white-space - enter, tab, space; useful for displaying plain text or code.)

Jeff, I tried it, it doesn't work in IE6 with XHTML 1 Transitional.
I mean the tage <pre> works in HTML 4 and even in XHTML 1, (albeit it shouldn't in XHTML 1 Transitional) but
div.pre
{
white-space: pre;
}
doesn't work
Any help ?
Tested in IE 6:
DouglasCode:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> [...] p { white-space: pre; } [...] <p>This is some text</p>
PS: What do you mean about pre not working in XHTML 1 Transitional? It is valid in Strict!
Hello World
Note that when using white-space:pre, it doesn't set any font settings, you'd need to define a font if you don't want the default one used.

Ok, here is the funny thing:
works like charm in IE, but wait untill you add the xml prologCode:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <head> <title>Just Tesing</title> <style> p { white-space: pre; } </style> </head> <body> <p>This is some text and then some then again ....</p> </body>
and it goes haywire ...Code:<?xml verison='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
Suggestions ?
IE doesn't like the prolog and switches to horrible quirks mode....leave it out of your documents and you'll be fine

Here is a place at W3C where you can go to check out the <pre> tag: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_pre.asp
After the third time of reading the instructions,
it finally soaks in to my thick skull.
